Mars L1 Workshop Announcement – Exploring a Red Planet Space Weather Mission Concept

The NASA Space Weather Program would like to invite the community to participate in the “Mars L1 Workshop – Exploring a Red Planet Space Weather Mission Concept”. This 2.5 day workshop from October 20-22, 2026 at NASA Ames Research Center will focus on user needs, observational requirements, and science opportunities of a potential dedicated space weather mission at the Sun-Mars L1 point.  The workshop aims to bring together academia, industry, government parters, and end-users to conceptualize what a mission designed specifically to support future robotic and human exploration at Mars could look like.  The workshop will be hybrid and is free to attend.  Abstract submission will be open through July 6, 2026.  Submit an abstract and register for the workshop at https://sservi.nasa.gov/mars-l1/.
